Which Medicine Should I Take To Postpone Menstrual Cycle?

Thanks for your query.
You could start taking Progesterone preparation from 20th january onwards till as long as you do not want your periods. For eg, if you continue taking till 27th January, you would bleed only after that.
These are hormonal preparations and are prescription drugs, so you would need to visit your gynaecologist and get yourself examined for the exact dosage and brand and regimen.
On stopping the progesterone tablets, you would get your period within 2 -3 days, and maximum within a week's time.
However, I hope it is an important reason, as it is not advisable to meddle with the natural periods.
That said and done, for an exceptional case and for an occasional month, it would not harm you to take the tablets.
Please consult your gynecologist to rule out contraindications and to prescribe the exact drugs.
Take care and feel free to ask for further clarifications.
